Powerpoint presentation design – more than a bunch of slides

Emma

Powerpoint Presentations are very simple to put together, but excellent Powerpoint design is extremely hard. Pushed for time, most of us will sling together a bunch of slides based on our talk, perhaps illustrating some key points. The versatility of Powerpoint makes this easy – too easy. Thanks to the user-friendliness of the programme, you can very quickly build up slides with text, images, audio and video, transitioning to each other with a range of special effects. But that’s not enough. Good sales presentations are more than window-dressing, and if you don’t know what you’re doing your audience will find out pretty soon.

Bad Powerpoint design simply repeats what the audience hears in your spoken presentation. Good design has a narrative: a story that moves through the presentation and that is communicated with conciseness and clarity. The visuals matter, but only in pointing to this primary aim. People take in information in different ways, so don’t assume that the slides are an optional extra to the talk you write. In many cases these snapshots will be most or all of what a viewer/listener takes away.

This isn’t something that just anyone can do – at least not without training. If you work in a business of any size, you’ll already understand that. Although you can put together your own copy, it’s far more effective to hire a copywriter to do it for you. Anyone can write; not everyone can copywrite (although in smaller organisations they may try). Powerpoint is the same. The problem is that the ease of using the software means there are a lot of dilettantes out there, with the obvious results. Creating a really killer slideshow is actually quite an art; it’s just that creating a mediocre slideshow is within anyone’s reach – just as writing a bad sales pitch or website landing page is something anyone can do.

If your Powerpoint design is letting you down, there are companies who can either do it for you or train someone within your organisation so that they can create high-quality sales presentations. Great powerpoint presentations don’t just happen by themselves; they are crafted, just like any other worthwhile product – copy, artwork, software, a website. As in anything like this, the proof of the pudding should be in the eating, and very quickly. Return on investment is the only meaningful measure of success when hiring a service like this, and you should see it almost immediately in the form of successful bids and convincing presentations.

Shops For Sale North London – For Experienced Retailers And Restaurateurs

Jo

It has been stated that commercial property London will continue attracting investors for some time to come. This is welcome news for UK citizens and for enterprises based here. It is also news that bodes well in terms of Britain’s hopes for an economic recovery, while the rest of Europe struggles somewhat. Obviously, many of us would hope that a boost to the financial health of Britain would also impact positively on the rest of Europe, especially those like Spain and Greece who could really do with our help. If the UK were to really capitalise on the desirability of shops for sale in north ondon at present, the country would do well to improve their relations with the rest of Europe at the same time. Shops to rent in north London, meanwhile, will allow for a country-internal boost as local traders who have so far only had market stands or an online presence will be able to invest in an area they know and love.

The West End and the City have until now proven most capable of generating returns in the commercial property sector. This is why north London needs people to invest in it. If we think to the Olympics – a time when disgruntlement reigned outside of the actual sports events as restaurants, hotels, cultural institutions and the retail sector reported a downturn in profits – it is clear that much remains to be done in terms of generating community feeling and an enthusiasm to spend in London’s smaller high streets and shopping precincts. We could have had a more amusing and lucrative Olympics if more Londoners had headed out to their local restaurants, pubs and bars to watch the games rather than sitting in their homes watching our sports stars on their personal TV screens.

That said, if anyone watching TV at home happened to flick from the Olympics over to Mary Portas’ Queen of Shops, they would have noticed that Commercial property London demands investment from more than just restaurateurs and landlords. Indeed, the idea of a shops for sale in north london needs to be taken by entrepreneurs with imaginative products and material goods. A lot of people would have forecast that online shopping would have overtaken the physical habit of going to the shops by now. But what these people forgot was that shopping is a social experience as well as an exercise in bargain hunting. This is also why it’s a good time for start-up shop keepers to opt for shops to rent in North London.
